Mexican Pork and Green Chile Stew image

Here's my version of a traditional Mexican 'Guisado de Puerco en Chile Verde' (Green Chile and Pork stew). It is bursting with flavor, and is mildly-spicy. Serve with hot corn or flour tortillas with butter, or black beans and white rice.

Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 ½ pounds lean boneless pork, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 ½ cups diced onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 (14.5 ounce) can no-salt-added diced tomatoes
1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies
2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
¼ cup cold water
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large Dutch oven or large pot over medium heat.
  • Spread flour into a wide, shallow dish; add pork and turn to coat, shaking off excess.
  • Cook coated pork in hot oil until completely browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir onion and garlic in with the pork; continue cooking and stirring until the onion softens, about 5 minutes. Pour diced tomatoes, green chilies, and 2 tablespoons cilantro over the pork mixture; stir. Place a cover on the Dutch oven and simmer the mixture until pork is tender and no longer pink in the center, about 40 minutes.
  • Whisk cold water and cornstarch together in a small bowl; stir into the liquid in the Dutch oven and continue cooking until the sauce thickens, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Remove Dutch oven from heat; let dish rest 10 to 15 minutes. Ladle into bowls and top with cheese and desired amount of cilantro to serve.

I'm not a fan of spicy food, but this stew was surprisingly mild. The flavors were well-balanced and the meat was cooked perfectly.

This stew is perfect for a cold winter night. It's hearty and filling, and the spices will warm you up from the inside out.

I'm a vegetarian so I made this stew with tofu instead of pork. It was still very good, but I think the pork would have added more flavor.

This stew was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used canned green chiles. Next time I'll try using fresh chiles and see if that makes a difference.

I've made this stew several times and it's always a hit. It's a great way to use up leftover pork and it's also very affordable. I usually serve it with rice or cornbread.

This stew was easy to make and turned out great! I used ground pork instead of pork shoulder and it was still very flavorful. I also added some chopped carrots and celery for extra veggies.

This stew was absolutely delicious! I made it for my family last night and everyone loved it. The pork was tender and juicy, and the green chiles added just the right amount of spice. I will definitely be making this again.
